Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany's Relationship Timeline (PEOPLE.com)

Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany first met in 2001 and got married in 2003. Here is a complete timeline of their relationship.

The Top Gun: Maverick premiere in San Diego was a family affair for Bettany and Connelly, who brought her 24-year-old son Kai Dugan with them to walk the red carpet. Bettany starred in Inkheart in 2009, and Connelly was featured in the film in a small role. The project was loosely based on a couple that lived near Connelly and Bettany's home in Brooklyn. Connelly joined Instagram for the first time on April 29, 2022. I was officially his first and in a season of few excursions, I think it kind of qualifies as a hot date," she said. "It was great, it was a momentous election and what an election to start with as a new American citizen. Bettany also discussed directing his wife in the drama Shelter, telling the magazine, "Working with Jennifer as a director is like getting in a gravel shower. And there is nobody on earth with whom I could be having a better time." A representative for Connelly confirmed to PEOPLE on Jan. 10, 2003, that the Labyrinth star and Bettany quietly wed over the 2002 holiday season. Bettany also spoke about the couple's long-term relationship, saying, "Marriage and children changed my life. It's like an hour's work and so I went, 'Well why don't you just put the dress on and it'd be nice for the kids, you know, when we get older really.' " At the time, Connelly was dating actor Josh Charles.

Was Jennifer Connelly In The Original Top Gun? (Screen Rant)

The love interest for Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun: Maverick is played by Jennifer Connelly. Is the actress part of the returning cast?

Though Maverick is certainly familiar with Penny ahead of Top Gun: Maverick’s story, she had no real role to play in the first movie, and the references to her were sparse. As for what Maverick will be up to in his personal life, the character has found a new love interest in Jennifer Connelly’s Penny Benjamin. Like most Top Gun: Maverick cast members, Connelly has no prior ties to Top Gun. The only other returning actor in the film aside from Cruise is the aforementioned Val Kilmer, who has come back to play Iceman. Connelly herself is completely new to the Top Gun franchise, but her character, on the other hand, actually does have a tangible connection to the original film. In the long-awaited sequel to the iconic Top Gun movie, Connelly is playing Penny Benjamin, a bartender who captures the romantic interest of Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Connelly joins a star-studded cast that includes, in addition to Cruise himself, Ed Harris, Val Kilmer, Jon Hamm, and more.

Top Gun: Maverick's Jennifer Connelly On Learning To Sail, Flying ... (Looper)

Jennifer Connelly is bringing an offscreen character to life. She spoke to us about Penny's appearance in "Top Gun: Maverick" and learning to sail.

I feel like this is a celebratory movie. It was so important that they revisited that scene, because it's such an iconic moment in the original movie. It's a spectacle of a movie, but it has a lot of heart, and it really delivers. Connelly tells us that she thinks the time is right for the world to revisit the lives of Maverick and the rest of the elite "Top Gun" pilots. Actually, it feels like such a great moment for it now. I know I'm so ready to be having a collective experience again. She's independent and strong, and she really adores Pete, but she knows him too, and she knows how to set her boundaries. It definitely felt like a collaboration. They've been in an on-and-off relationship all these years and have a lot of history. There's so many ferries and police boats and, believe it or not, kayakers and jet skiers in New York Harbor. Who knew? She is someone who really wants to be happy and makes choices that move her in that direction. Connelly plays Penny Benjamin, who was referenced but never seen in the original "Top Gun" as the "admiral's daughter" with whom Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) spent some sexy time.
